5TH CONFERENCE ON THE REGULATION OF INFRASTRUCTURES: THE CHALLENGES OF DIGITALIZATION AND THE USE OF DATAFLORENCE, 24 JUNE 2016
INTRODUCTION
• Since 1990 there has been a clear trend towards increasing private sector participation in
infrastructure provision and management (both in emerging as developed economies);
• Increasing private participation should mean a clearer regulatory framework
• The regulatory framework and institutional setting have been changing to cope with new
challenges;

INTRODUCTION
Evaluate how the different transport networks in Portugal have been de-and-re-regulated.
1) How regulation have evolved in Portugal in the road, railway, urban transports, ports and
airport sector;
2) How the new regulation framework have clarified the role of public and private sector?
3) How the merge between roads and railway infrastructures potentiate a network approach?
4) What role can digitalization have in the Portuguese context of transports network?

Portugal Experience – Global overview
Like most countries, Portugal has been establishing regulatory bodies, expanding the pastregulatory experience (mostly technical), to economic regulation; Nevertheless, the trends ininfrastructure sectors have been diverse;
Since 1990, the government has vertically and horizontally separated the management ofinfrastructure, creating public companies for operating transportation services and other tomanage the infrastructure; Likewise, the regulatory functions were isolated in sector specificregulators;
In the last the last two years, both infrastructure managers (e.g. roads, railways), as well asregulatory bodies have been merged, thus horizontally integrating the regulatory and thegovernance structures.

Portugal Experience – Port and Maritime
Oliveira Cruz & Miranda Sarmento Institutional “tetris” in infrastructure regulation 5
Continental Portugal has nine commercial ports, which can be divided into a main system of fiveports and a secondary network with four ports ; there are four separate administrationsmanaging the system (SOE)
The management model for the Portuguese Ports is based on a “landlord model”
The port authority manages most activities related with navigation and pilotage, whilst theterminal operations (loading, unloading and management of cargo) are carried out by the privateconcessionaires that hold a concession to operate the terminal (typically over 20/30 years’ long)
Portugal Experience – Roads and Railway
Intensive investment in highways and roads, along with some investment in
urban railroads.
Highways are PPPs. Roads are manage by a SOE “Estradas de Portugal”.
High levels of payments putting pressure in the public budget.
Railways are managed by SOE´s, except 2 Lisbon urban projects under PPPs.

Portugal Experience – Roads and Railway
Changes in road regulatory model has been focus on public accounting issues:
Effort that the SOE “Estradas de Portugal” to stay out of the deficit perimeter.
3 different type of highway PPPs contract:
Real tolls (Highways of the 1st wave (90´s), with sufficient traffic to be sustainable)
Shadow tolls on the 2nd wave (98-2002), changed in 2010-2011 to availability payments.
Availability payments in the 3rd wave (2007-2009).

Portugal Experience – Airports
Oliveira Cruz & Miranda Sarmento Institutional “tetris” in infrastructure regulation 8
The airport manager ANA holds a 50-year concession (starting in 2012) for the exclusivity ofmanaging and operating the Portuguese Airport System;
ANA was privatized in 2012 (3.050 million Euros)
The regulatory model is based on a single till regime with a price-cap
The formula for setting the price-cap allows for tariff increases whenever the traffic is growing
In the last years the traffic is growing at double digits, thus leading to a significant tariff increase
Lisbon will need a second airport (within the next 5 years) but the financing of the developmentof a secondary airport is not included within the concession contract

The evolution of the regulatory institutional framework
Oliveira Cruz & Miranda Sarmento Institutional “tetris” in infrastructure regulation 10
Historically, the regulatory institutional framework has been changing
These changes were the result of different policy changes, namely:
Re-naming and re-organization of institutions: in some cases, the change in the regulatory body wascarried out due to the “upgrading” and/or re-organization of their activities (e.g. changes in the airportsector);
Division of responsibilities: the regulatory responsibilities were split between different organizations, ashappened in the road and railway sectors in the 1990’s;
Merging of regulatory responsibilities: this was the latest movement, and it resulted in the merger ofthe regulatory responsibilities in all the transport sector (except airports) under the same regulatoryentity (Authority for Mobility and Transport – AMT) in 2015.

Network approach of the merge between roads and railways infrastructure
The fast and expressive expansion of the road network, along with some investment in railways,
has led to excessive capacity within the main transportation system
The merger of the road and railway manager aims at capturing synergies between the two
systems (increasing revenues and decreasing costs)
They are both highly in debt, and have large internal structures, with more than three thousand
employees between the two of them

The role of digitalization
Improving the efficiency on the management of infrastructure
Providing real time information about the system’s operation and supply solutions;
Improving the capacity management of the system;
Providing tolls as a form of active demand management;
Allowing for an effective and efficient monitoring of projects.
Oliveira Cruz & Miranda Sarmento Institutional “tetris” in infrastructure regulation 14
Conclusions
Over time the role of public and private sector has became clearer, particularly for the risk sharing
structure
As a sign of some weakness in the market and in the regulatory arrangement, this increase of the
private sector role was not accompanied by assuming more of the revenue risk
The regulatory framework and institutional arrangement have been changing periodically, which
makes more difficult to have a stable environment
